Measurement Uncertainties of a Compact Array Spectrometer
Abstract For the classification of solar simulators the spectral irradiance is one relevant criterion. Array spectrometers are often used for this purpose. We developed a compact and portable spectrometer instrument specifically for flash and...

Maximizing Local Capillary Trapping During CO2 Injection
Abstract Local capillary trapping (LCT) occurs during buoyancy-driven migration of bulk phase CO2 within a saline aquifer exhibiting spatially varying properties (permeability and capillary entry pressure). When the rising CO2 plume encounters a...

Coupling of TOUGHREACT-Geochemist Workbench (GWB) for Modeling Changes in the Isotopic Composition of CO2 Leaking from a CCS Storage Reservoir
Abstract A novel coupled TOUGHREACT-Geochemist Workbench (GWB) model has been developed to predict changes of the isotopic composition of CO2 resulting from reactive transport during leakage of CO2 from a storage reservoir. In the TOUGHREACT...

Higher-order conservative interpolation between control-volume meshes: Application to advection and multiphase flow problems with dynamic mesh adaptivity
Abstract A general, higher-order, conservative and bounded interpolation for the dynamic and adaptive meshing of control-volume fields dual to continuous and discontinuous finite element representations is presented. Existing techniques such as...

Reducing Uncertainty in PHM by Accounting for Human Factors – A Case Study in the Biopharmaceutical Industry
Abstract The ultimate goal of prognostics within Through-life Engineering Services (TES) is to accurately predict the remaining useful life (RUL) of components. Prognostic frameworks inherently presume that there is predictability in the failure...

How do software development teams manage technical debt? – An empirical study
Abstract Technical debt (TD) is a metaphor for taking shortcuts or workarounds in technical decisions to gain short-term benefit in time-to-market and earlier software release. In this study, one large software development organization is...

Application of a Novel Method for a Simulation of Conductivity of a Building Material in a Climatic Chamber
Abstract This work proposes the application of a new simulation method based on fractal geometry for the calculation of the thermal conductivity for building materials. The results obtained are compared with the measurement, in a climatic chamber,...

Focal mechanism of the 2011 Mw7.1 earthquake in eastern Turkey from InSAR observation
Abstract: We used two Envisat images from ESA to reveal the co-seismic deformation field caused by the Mw7. 1 earthquake in eastern Turkey on Oct. 23, 2011, and a linear elastic dislocation model in half space to estimate the corresponding fault...

Crustal structure beneath Cameroon from EGM2008
Abstract: We used the Earth Gravitational Model (EGM2008) data sets to analyze the regional gravity anomalies and to study the underground structures in Cameroon. We first created a high-resolution Free-Air anomaly database, then corrected the...

Fe-XANES analyses of Reykjanes Ridge basalts: Implications for oceanic crust's role in the solid Earth oxygen cycle
Abstract The cycling of material from Earth's surface environment into its interior can couple mantle oxidation state to the evolution of the oceans and atmosphere. A major uncertainty in this exchange is whether altered oceanic crust entering...
